The Pulitzer Center is partnering with Helium to get your voice heard on important global issues often under-reported in US media. The winning essay will be showcased on our website, and the winner will receive a Pulitzer Center Global Issues/Citizen Voices Award.

When selecting the winner from the top ranked entries on Helium, the Pulitzer Center values vivid, well-articulated essays that reflect insight, a clear point of view and, where appropriate, original reporting. Anything fictionalized or not based on the writer's own observations should be clearly marked.
